My TV left overs are a good amt ,the boards are my concern now like any scraper i take off - AL - CU - CU bearing .
what I am left over with are chopped up circuit boards . I can use as fill for the mix but really the yard does not want it . Since .10 lb is all i want any way, does any one know if with the correct scrap processor type wants them ? do they have a true value of at least .10 ?
You said you were in the Binghamton NY area, right? If so, Greenblott's buys them at $.20/lb
That's a good price. Yards on the island take them with light iron.12#
Not sure if GB want TV Boards , I'll give them a call , still remember I remove all the goodies but still whats left is probably what gold silver recyclers put in the vats of acids
That's a really good price. My yard classifies them as low grade copper bearing at .08/lb. That's after I tear off all the goodies, of course.Quote:

My yard calls them junk boards I just take off the transformers,heatsinks,proms and I get 25 cents a pound.
Used to strip junk boards of al and cbm, now only take the al heatsinks and removable proms if any. Yard pays .30 per pound on boards and .23 on cbm, now make more on the boards with the extra weight and spend a lot less time depopulating.
There is no gold and silver in TV and other brown boards. Very rare,,,Quote:

There are precious metals to be found almost everywhere if you look hard enough. The problem is that the amounts are generally so small that there is no profit to be made after the costs of processing, time, waste, shipping are all factored in. I'm not the most knowledgeable on the large scale refining of boards, but I do know that the only thing worth having off of low grade boards is the copper, and even that is marginal. Any pm's are just a by product.
I remove most of the goodies too, and they still take it as copper bearing at $.20Quote:

bottom line circuit boards don't have to be in the mix in any more , Next is there value to the glass tubes other then smashing for the metal inside (newbies thats just a hypothetical joke don't smash tubes)
Greenblott's did buy them at $.17/lb today
now if i had my 3000 boards from day one that would have been 6000 lbs of boards @ over $1000 or a hoarding TV show Spot.
Now my main yard admits to me they buy as CBM @ .20 wile in the past they bought them from me as Dirty AL and if they saw it in the mix they did not want them . Yard guys not looking to inform but are looking for me to conform to there benefit
